Where have you been?” Melissa and Jake finally meet up with Carter in the school parking lot.   Carter rushes up to them. “I forgot my passport and I had to go home and get it!”   Knowing the time frames were tight, the three friends brought their suitcases to school putting them in the back of Melissa’s SUV in the morning so they could head straight to the airport after their exam was over. Due to Carter’s side t
